OK. So that's what it does... funny... never knew that... Figures, I
was wondering that 16x16 and 32x32 were really big icons for that tiny
little pic up there in the title bar... silly me. Thanks for clearing
that up for me... I feel very small now.

At least it's not doing it for me. If I set a servlet in a welcome file
list then nada... and none of the tricks that I've heard of works (doing
a url mapping for something to the servlet and then putting that
something in the welcome file list and so on...). Also... and this is
an even bigger problem than the last one... the <error-page> tag is not
working at all for me.
This is what I have in the 'web.xml':
...
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>404.htm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
<location>404.htm</location>
</error-page>
...
The 404.htm is being displayed as a welcome file but every time I try to
access something that does not exist on the server I get the regular
ugly windows internet explorer 404 page. Have any problems been
reported with <error-page>?
